About:

I am currently a research scientist at Google Deepmind. I am interested in projects for designing and evaluating NLP systems that are more knowledge-grounded, controllable, interactive, and capable of complex reasoning. I also am interested in postiive applications of NLP models for real-world challenges and the intersection of NLP and computational social science. In June 2020, I received a PhD from the University of Washington, advised by Prof. Yejin Choi. Before graduate school, I was an undergraduate student at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

I have also previously worked as an intern at MSR (working with Asli Celikyilmaz, summer 2019), a part-time research intern at the Allen Institute of Artificial Intelligence (the Mosaic project for commonsense reasoning, 2018-2019), an intern at FAIR (with Y-Lan Boureau, summer 2018) and an intern at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (with Svitlana Volkova, summer 2016).
